Ive heard such mixed reviews about this place.
Does anyone have any opinions to help a chap make a decision?

I go there once in a blue moon when I get chance. I've not a lot of comparative experience so others will give you more balance. It's a bit run down but not too bad. I like it as a place to relax and chill out and move from sauna or steam room to a swim. It may claim to be naturist but most women keep towels round them. That's fair enough of course. I move around fairly naked when I'm there.
Couples may get more from rooms upstairs but as a single I've not been up there. People are friendly or have been when I've been there. I have had a few adventures there but if I went there expecting one I expect I'd be disappointed.
I've had a couple of good (innocent) massages there. Its considered a banning offence to proposition the masseuses.
I remember a discussion with a topless member of staff there once on Anglo-Saxon poetry and thinking how unlikely the situation was.
Its easy to get to from Kentish Town tube station.
Rios has improved its facilities and is a neater place for it. I use it during the days now, as at night it just gets too crowded.
Its different everytime and that's due to the mood of the customers. But there are times when its just lots of men trudging around hoping something is going to happen. Usually it won't in such circumstances.
Other days people genuinely do relax and its an easy going environment. There might be groups of mates in and the atmosphere is cheerful.
You can get in as a naturist couple for a tenner, and you are expected to be naked during your stay. most of the women during the day are there because they want to use the facilities. You may get lucky, but don't go looking for it.
If you're looking for action try the Paradise Spa in Dagenham. they have designated sessions some for couples, bi, greedy girls and party nights. There's more opportunity there than Rios.
Organising the Munch. Don't think there's been one recently and would be great to meet some of the SH members
I was hoping you werent going to say that :P
I started a london group to try and get this sort of thing happening, but the groups system on SH is pretty useless. The admin cant even message all the members! might as well not exist :P
